My name is Richard Connors, President of the Colonial Republic.
My people have a task facing them, that requires the assistance of scientists and engineers with expertise we don't have. To explain, we have recently come into possession of a beautiful garden world to settle our people on. With an abundance of resources, and every bit as beautiful as rumors say - it does have one unfortunate problem. A rather voracious flora. Our attempts to build colonies have seen our structures overgrown in hours by the plant life. All crops planted are forced out before they can even germinate. It's made colonization rather difficult, even for us, a society of planet tamers.
Use of your new product "FloraGro" on Pecos has had considerable affect, and our scientists feel it is a good basis to work on. In this case, we would like to work with Planetform to develop something to keep the plant life of Yuma in check. An "anti-floragro" if you will.
If this is something you can help our nation with, we'd be eager to begin immediately. Yuma is too good a world to leave fallow.
Thank you for your time.

Greetings Mr. Connors,
I am Katie Lockwood, secretary of the Research and Developement departement of Planetform Inc.
It made me smile when I read your message. I am truly pleased that our latest product, FloraGro, has proven to be effective in use, maybe a mite too effective, as it appears to look in your case. I am glad that you have contacted us onto such matters, seeing as our experts are probably the only scientists able of developing and delivering you an adequate product which would sufficiently fulfill your requirements.
Indeed have we foreseen such scenarios and have therefore already designed a concept of some sort of Anti-FloraGro product. However, as we have not used it in greater amounts yet it will take some time to faciliate it in the amounts you need them of.
You will be contacted over this channel in due time again.
Thank you for your trust in Planetform Inc. and have a good day.
Katie Lockwood, Secretary of Research and Developement
It is good to hear a response so quickly. I cannot lie to you, we are very impatient about settling on the Planet Yuma, and need a fix to the issue of the indigenous plant life as soon as possible.
To aid in the development of this product, with your permission, we can send the core of our research team, now in the process of trying to develop a mean to combat the plant life. As well, we can send a plethora of samples of Yuma's flora for you to study. Most of them have to be shipped in hardened titanium crates, unless in some sort of forced hibernation. Standard shipping crates are destroyed in minutes due to the veracity at which the plant specimen expands.
I hope that with a combined effort, a breakthrough will be short in coming.
Thank you for your time.

Greetings Mr. Connors,
I apologize for the late reponse on this matter, our best scientist team has been working day and night for the past days trying to refine the remedy we are working on. Unfortunately, we stumbled upon some issues which is why the developement will probably be delayed for a few days. However, we are now ready to test the alexipharmic on plant specimen. We will grant your research team access to all necessary rooms and devices on Canterbury. We are aware of the urgency of this concern for you and hope that together with your team we will find a feasible way to contain the growth speed of your flora in due time.
Thank you for your patience.
Katie Lockwood, Secretary of Research and Developement
I've received reports that our science team has made it to your facility, and delivered all the specimens we have. Enclosed is the data we've collected by our own biological researchers. With this, you should have more then enough to develop what is needed for the planet Yuma.
Thank you for your time.
